Is it safe???? I've read some conflicting reports about potassium chloride (the stuff the substitute uses instead of salt). I think it may be just if you injest more than is normal but I've heard of a toddler who managed to get into some and went into cardiac arrest. I also ran across something about an elderly woman with a similar story. I googled potassium chloride overdose and all the sites listed cardiac arrest and death.Has anyone else heard or read anything like this?Edited: Spelling Is it safe????

http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/1364/can-salt-substitute-kill-youYes, this container is enough to kill 4 healthy adults. Consult a Dr before using this, and don't use it if "I eat too much salt" is causing you health problems.

first of all, I am not the person who sold you the salt. I am a customer who bought the hima.salt. I think your question could be ans. if you did a search on the salt. "Does hima. salt have iodine in it. It's bring you to a search ingine. Then choose the one with the "health rangeer" This is a rep. site with value educational info. I'm sure you can ans. your own question there,hope this helps

It's iodine crystals mixed with purified water, it takes a day or two to dissolve and I don't remember the potassium iodide is probably a crystal also. I'll get you the website, wait....http://www.acu-cell.com/sni.html ... it's not the site I was looking for but most of them write about tablets (iodoral?), not liquid. This site has loads of information. I think it's considered inorganic but not synthetic. I'm not a biologist or geologist but it's natural enough for me. Another lady asked me where it's derived from and she has no results on her drug dosage so far but she could also have other factors like too much bromine, technical stuff, not enough magnesium on and on.. it's part of a cure not a cure all by itself. Of course doctors won't scan your whole nutrition profile so we're on our own but especially since it says after the thyroid the bosums take the rest of the iodine uptake so I doubt there's a high probability of overdosing on it either. I'd been using about five drops a day and go onto my next health regiment. I alternate with a lot of stuff. Now I'm on an herb kick. I don't think there's any problem with lugols. Check earthclinic.com also they have tons of health stories by real people and a lot on lugols too.

I am a chemist and have worked with Teflon for 40 years. Don't understand the concernwith Teflon injestion, since it is will not react with anything other than metallic sodium. As a matter of fact I held the patent for Teflon catheters which are the only type used by hospitals. You could eat this stuff alll day and it would have no effect. Anyone who knows specifics about how it causes damage to a human please give specifics.

Paperwork says "Not recommended for Salt" but also states if you do "remove agitator before salting". I personally use this only for lawn care. May want to go directly to the Earthway site and ask this question. Cheers

If this is a pure mineral salt (Magnesium Sulphate and nothing else) it's shelf life is theoretically infinite. Unless it becomes wet, just keep it from contamination and you're good for a lifetime!

Sorry for the very late reply, I do not recommend it. Made my mom really sick... She got a pain on her left arm. She seriously thought she was going to get a heart attack. She didn't take it anymore and she felt better. Those went to the trash. Did you end up trying them?

Marisa, thank you for your question and your interest in HUMANOLABS products. While it is true, as another reader pointed out, that there is not much room left when each capsule contains almost 800mg of garcinia cambogia. However, this is not the main reason why we do not add supplemental calcium or potassium. Our garcinia cambogia is extracted in a manner that leaves it in a water soluble form. It is this factor more than any other that determines bioavailability. We have seen claims recently that warn consumers to avoid products that contain calcium as they purportedly render the active HCA useless. This is not the case. In fact, in virtually all of the clinical trials a standardized form of HCA, a calcium-potassium salt of (-)-hydroxycitric acid was utilized. Moreover, according to www.drugs.com and referencing garcinia cambogia "some salts used in commercial products are water soluble and bioavailable, and are a good source of calcium (495 mg) and potassium (720 mg)" Bottom line, bioavailabilty is very important but it has nothing to do with avoiding calcium and everything to do with getting a water soluble form of garcinia cambogia extract which as a result will also contain calcium and potassium salts. Sorry for the lengthy explanation but there is considerable misinformation out there on this topic and we hope that exchanges like this will help eliminate some of the confusion.

Saline is much better. I bought the salt and made my own saline. Works really well.

I looked at the bottle to see what it said and they don't list it at all and I also looked at the regular salt container and seen it listed. I know that they say regular salt is processed and that I read that because they process it that regular salt is not what it used to be any more. The reason why I brought this salt it is suppose to be processed in a different way but better where it is all natural and that it is suppose to balance out your body. All I know is that a very small sprinkle will go along way for favor as you can't use it like regular salt so you have to be careful on how much you put on as the favor is nice and it is strong but in a good way. The rest is for knowing about iodine you will have to do more research into that as it is not listed on the bottle itself.

I cook with it, so I know it can be consumed safely. I have not used it in dietary supplements. Experiment with it and see what happens, it cannot hurt because it is good to use in your daily diet.

It contains potassium chloride - that's how they reduce the sodium content. There are 350mg potassium on the label (per serving).

I had it all figured out and now I can't remember where I got my information. But I have a bottle of potassium chloride here and it says that it has 365 milligrams in 1/8 teaspoon. That sounds close to the potassium bicarbonate. I usually take 1/4-1/2 tsp a day as a potassium supplement. Hope that helps.

Yes, thank you for asking. We do use this on the table & we use it in our cooking as well. It tastes so much better than other salt substitutes we have tried. Definitely worth the purchase, we think.

Hi,I am no expert, but my understanding is that the magnesium chloride is more organic in nature than the Epsom salt. Also, when I ran out of the magnesium chloride I tried using the Epsom salt in the foot bath. The Epsom salt foot bath did not relax me, while the magnesium chloride in the footbath did relax me. I hope this answers you question.

Actually I don't have it anymore (I gave it away). Doesn't it say on the post? I know I bought it for the magnesium, but I found it to be very salty and I am a salt lover. Personally, I'd rather add baking soda and/or pink himalayan sea salt to my filtered water. Sorry I can't help you more.

from the bottle it says, sodium chloride 1.0 gram.....electrolyte replenisher. Still looking on the bottle under other information, it reads, each tablet contains Sodium 394 mg. Also, product doesn't contain any inactive ingredients. Just a suggestion, you probably should consult with your doctor before taking this product, to make sure that you need it. You definitely don't want to get too much sodium in your system. Hope this information helps.
